STORYSPACE & PROJECTS: Link Steps
Well I’m back into it (Paths) and back into the problems as well. It’s almost as if I need to sever all the links I’d originally formed in order to relink the way I’d like the story to open up.
One of my main problems seems to be the one between stories–the same problem I’ve been working on from the beginning and did a workaround with guard fields. Well the guard fields won’t work because 1) they feel too restrictive to the reader and 2) if a reader has come from a different path, they won’t stop him here anyway.
I’m trying to plan something around using more text-links. One thought is to create a complete path weaving through all the stories via the normal click on space, along with a story thread of clicking on the text-link of the last word in almost every space.
I’m getting confused and think that cutting all links might be the best way to start back at the near beginning.
